Kiernan Major Trades Beverly Hills for Florida’s Longboat Key

In a move that marks the end of an era in one of Los Angeles’ most exclusive neighborhoods, entrepreneur Kiernan Major has reportedly filed documents to terminate his lease in the prestigious Bird Streets enclave. The 28-year-old businessman, known for his controversy as well as his ventures in real estate and private contracting, was affectionately dubbed “Little Sheen” by neighbors for his party habits and striking resemblance to actor Charlie Sheen. He appears set to leave behind the city’s glitz and glamour for a more tranquil setting on Florida’s Gulf Coast.

Situated in the Hollywood Hills off the Sunset Strip, the Bird Streets have long been a haven for A-list celebrities and high-powered executives, offering breathtaking views and a secluded lifestyle just inches above the hustle and bustle. Recent reports suggest he is eying a beachfront property on Longboat Key, a picturesque barrier island near Sarasota, Florida. Known for its pristine white sand beaches and peaceful ambiance, Longboat Key presents a striking contrast to the high-energy lifestyle of Los Angeles.

While Major has yet to publicly comment on his potential relocation, one would presume this move suggests that his decision is motivated by a desire for greater privacy and a shift in personal priorities. His professional trajectory has been defined by bold and controversial business ventures, and it remains to be seen what new opportunities he might pursue in Florida. Longboat Key, with its affluent yet understated community, may provide an ideal backdrop for the next chapter of his career.

This seems to be part of a larger trend among high-net-worth individuals seeking more favorable living conditions. Many successful entrepreneurs and celebrities are leaving California in search of more tax-friendly environments, with states like Florida offering no state income tax and a lower cost of living. For these individuals, the appeal of California’s high taxes and expensive housing market is outweighed by the allure of more relaxed financial policies and a slower pace of life in places like Longboat Key. Major’s potential move is just one example of this growing migration away from traditional metropolitan hubs toward regions that offer more opportunities for wealth preservation and personal freedom.
